I have a large cow with a tiny vertical crack at the very top of her front hoof. She has had it for a few week now and is limping except when feed is involved then she moves rather well with no limp. When she is standing, resting she holds it up some of the time. We had a vet come out for a heifer so our plan was for him to check her hoof out but he wouldn't mess with her. She has a baby and she isn't very friendly. Our vets don't work on hooves in chutes any more and said we would have to bring her in and use their new table. That was a week ago. He didn't look at it at all. Would this crack that is in the hairline be causing all this pain? Any suggestions on what to do to make it heal faster. The big crack is old and never bothered her. Looks like the two are going to meet. She is a little humped back so I feel like it makes her walk a little off. Tends to get crab claws on that right hoof. Any advice on healing would be appreciated!
